BoxPoint.h:1352: Internal compiler error in `fix_lexical_addr', at
function.c:5409
Probably a known bug with the C++ front end in the February (000216)
toolchain. I'd suggest trying different optimization options -O1 or -O0.
The February toolchain is based on an FSF snapshot from Jan 3, and there were
unfortuntely some instabilities in the C++ front end at that time due to
C++ front end development. These bugs have all been fixed long ago. But
since they were fixed by additional C++ front end development, the patches
aren't really suitable for a released toolchain.
I think the best fix for this is to make a new release, and hope that the new
release has a more stable C++ front end. Unfortunately, this is likely to
continue to be a problem until the FSF makes a release, since there continues
to be a lot of development work going into the C++ front end and other parts
of gcc.
Red Hat is working on a new toolchain release for the ia64-linux project. We
made a CVS branch for the release last Monday, based on the July 10 FSF gcc
snapshot, and we are now testing the compiler and fixing bugs. I could make
a pre-release at any time, but I think we need to fix a couple of more bugs
before that will be really useful.
